RStudio on Amazon SageMaker now comes with the new RStudio Workbench version 2023.03 with enhanced developer productivity capabilities. The new capabilities include improvements to auto-completion and accessibility and support for R-4.3.0.

RStudio on Amazon SageMaker is the industry’s first fully managed, cloud-based RStudio Workbench. Data scientists and developers can launch the familiar RStudio integrated development environment (IDE) in a single click to build, train, and deploy models on Amazon SageMaker. You can elastically dial up and down the underlying compute resources without interrupting your work, and even switch to programming using Python on Amazon SageMaker Studio notebooks.

You will automatically get the updated RStudio Workbench version 2023.03 when you create a new SageMaker domain with RStudio enabled. If you have an existing domain, you will be able to choose the version to use when restarting RStudio for a grace period of 2 months. After the grace period expires, support for the old version (2022.02.2-485.pro2) will no longer be available.

The new version is now available in all AWS regions where RStudio on Amazon SageMaker is available.
